breezy backport plan

[duffman25]

Hi

Now that backports are official, what's the plan for the backport team during the breezy release? I don't regularly read the mailing list, so this could have been already address there, but I haven't find anything.

New packages are going to be backported as soon as they hit the archives in dapper or you will continue to use the usual scheme of asking for a backport & then backporting it?

Thanxs

Are you claiming backports works now?

If so, please tell us what you used in /etc/apt/sources.list ??

I followed the brand new users guide and it said the backports were working, but they are not.



Thanks.

No, AFAIK backports aren't ready yet.

Thank you.

I am trying to get my sources perfect so I can distribute the list to all the boxes at work. I though for a minute there that we were at a go, but I'll stand by for now.

Whoever launches the backports, please post the deb-src urls for backports as well as the deb urls.

Open-source is nice when you get the source that the binaries were built from.

This thread has completely gone out of topic & none of the backports team members have answered my question :(

If I dist-upgrade from hoary to breezy, will the hoary-backports on my machine break?

No, because all your hoary backports will be upgraded to their Breezy counterparts.
